Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Weezer]

Lived there 2006-2008. Sh*thole. St. Augustine is nice.

I was actually in Mayport, but figured that was close enough. My dad's last duty station before retirement. I liked it, but again, that was the '80's. A different time.

It appears the moderator of hoosiersportsnation.com is trying to head off Vol fans trolling their site...

 

[InVOLuntary]

I’m not railing against his hire. Weirder things have worked. But to defend it by knocking Fulmer is a beyond odd angle.

Where have I knocked Fulmer? All I said was he wasn't all that well thought of as an OC here.

 

[buffaloblue]

What's to imagine? We hired Derrick Dooley.

That was a last minute with two weeks to signing day hire. We got behind it better then you might think. If we trotted either of these guys out last year, total meltdown

I’ll say they will score because that offense is different. Fortunately we have a defensive minded coach who will shut that ish down eventually.

They will not be able to stop us at all

Pickens ran his mouth about him in a Sport article. I remember more the sheer production under him. Didn’t predict it...liked Walt Harris. Fulmer was better.

The name of the article was "The dude with a 'tude"

 

[chargervol]

I’m still not sure who we are playing for sure. Going through the thread like...

Believe we had 4 different opponents, in 3 different states, in less than 2 pages.

With everything happening it’s obvious that @Big Gucci Sosa Son has not gotten enough credit for the events that have taken place.

 

[BearCat204]

UGA’s 247 board has a hot board up for their next OL Coach. Matt Luke is #1. The Eagles OL Coach is #2.

They so dumb lol. Stoutland isnt leaving Philly to be the OL coach at UGA. Saban tried to hire him as OC and he wouldn't even entertain it. He has no desire to coach in college.

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

Honestly none of these hires scare me:

- Kiffin will recruit well and it may impact us negatively just a bit. However, Kiffin can't stay out of his own way. He will screw things up one way or another eventually.
- Pittman is a solid coach, but has zero HC experience. Wasn't even the OC for UGA last year even though they literally just had an opening. He also may recruit well but he has a HUGE hole to climb out of. Also super excited he has left UGA.
- Drinkwitz could be solid, but you truly are rolling the dice there. No proof of recruiting. His biggest claim is he took over a really solid App State team and didn't let them fall apart. We really don't have a body of work to make a decision one way or the other.

All three of these hires were risky. Ole Miss should of went all in (overpaid) for Norvell, Arky should of hired Bill Clark, and Mizzou should of kept Odom.

We have three weeks to prepare
We better come out and shut that **** down right off the bat. They don’t have speed, our defense should eat their ass all day
Offense will score but we will keep airing it out after halftime to get Jennings some play

Hope we win big, we should

So he did lose his job right?

 

[Batman1948]

We straight up impacted the whole SEC bowl selection process. Goodness, our fans......

Something tells me that our fans had nothing to do with this. Now, our AD may have had a lot to do with it.

I'm in St. John's. It's not a shithole. Birmingham is a shithole. Jax is not.

 

[butchna]

Where have I knocked Fulmer? All I said was he wasn't all that well thought of as an OC here.

But that wasn’t the consensus...just yours and others who agreed with you. I thought he was very good at the job and the numbers back me up. If UT hadn’t made the move, he’d have been a HC the following season...most likely at Arkansas. Pittman hasn’t been a candidate ANYWHERE...so nowhere near the same situation.

 

[Paper_Towel]

Let them talk smack. It makes it even sweeter when we beat them. Remember all the Iowa and Northwestern fans talking trash, I ate all the tears up afterwards.

I loved it when the Northwestern fans were trying to say their 5.7 40-yard dash DE was better than 1st-round Super Bowl-winning Derek Barnett

 

[Batman1948]

F espn and their cfb coverage. No one wants to listen about the same 4 teams for 7 hours.

Ain't that the truth. That's a couple hours I wish I had back. Such a total waste of time.

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

SIAP

We are like the battle hardened warriors at the end of WWII that fought all the way from North Africa to Italy to D-Day to Berlin, and were on a boat to whoop on Japan before they surrendered. We've been through all CFB can throw at us. No one wants to **** with us.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Georgia losing Chaney and Pittman in 12 months is a pretty big deal.

As long as we dont try any swing passes, we should be pretty efficient.

Lol. Are you reading my post? I said just the opposite. I said I didn't take that stance. And it was more than just my circle of people. It was wide spread. I don't know if I would characterize it as most but there was a huge group of people that felt that way.

As to Pittman, he has more experience in many ways as he has worked for many more programs and has and is much older than Fulmer. It remains to be seen whether it turns out to be a good hire.
